The ARM C libraries provide standard C functions, and helper functions used by the C and C++ libraries. The C libraries also provide target-dependent functions that are used to implement the standard C library functions such as printf in a semihosted environment. The C libraries are structured so that you can redefine target-dependent functions in your own code to remove semihosting dependencies.

The ARM libraries comply with:

See Compliance with the Application Binary Interface (ABI) for the ARM architecture in Using ARM^® C and C++ Libraries and Floating-Point Support for more information.

The Rogue Wave Standard C++ Library, as supplied by Rogue Wave Software, Inc., provides Standard C++ functions and objects such as cout. It includes data structures and algorithms known as the Standard Template Library (STL). The C++ libraries use the C libraries to provide target-specific support. The Rogue Wave Standard C++ Library is provided with C++ exceptions enabled.

The ARM C libraries provide additional components to enable support for C++ and to compile code for different architectures and processors.
